Double Dates- #7 & #8 My Learning Partners.

I am enjoying the #28daysofwriting blog posts , it has enhanced my focus on learning. I started reflecting yesterday and as the day went on I had difficulty focusing with family activities. This is a double weekend blog dedicated to my students who always motivate me and guide my thinking. My daily voyage with my students inspires me to continue persevering and learn with and from them, students matter!

What I have learned from this partnership with the the students, is to always create conditions to ensure they are learning through:

Risk taking

Allowing many chances at learning

Unpacking the curriculum and co-creating criteria

Providing time to reflect

Opportunities to collaborate

Students voices and choices

Questioning and inquiring,

There is no one way of learning

Changes are the process of learning

Provoking thinking

Students are initiators

Moving during learning

Relevance of learning

Real life changing experiences

Reaching out to them for changes in my learning

Assessment is learning

Empathy to issues locally and globally

Creating is learning experiences

Joy and laughter

Respect and dignity

Partnership at evaluation

Acknowledging how they matter

Reasoning and problem solving

Innovations by connecting experiences and reaching to new ideas

Trust and collaboration

I always look forward to my partners in learning. This partnership matters as they make a difference in my learning growth. This teamwork allows collaboration for embracing new possibilities. What unexpected learning will I be reflected upon this week?

I guess the next posts will continue to be on the empowerment of this learning partnership.
